senator rob portman has been playing the president as mitt romney prepares for the debate tonight. and he told cnn in an exclusive interview, it is his job to get under the candidate's skin and prepare him for the toughest attacks. portman has been the g.o.p. go-to guy for years. since 2000 he's played al gore, jon lieberman, john kerry and john edwards and now president obama. pretty malleable guy. he's reportedly been helping romney work on not getting overly defensive which is his weak point. he then tends to say things he wishes he hadn't. everyone has an opinion as to what to look for tonight. prettyies could -- politico has five things. first, can romney get aggressive without attacking. last thing he wants to do is come across snide or smug. how hard can the president push without getting too negative. he's not a big romney fan. we'll see if he can mask that true contempt. how will they handle the 47% libya, has the president had enough time to debate prep and five, will clinton come up? interesting choice for politico. we'll be right back. >>i feel like i don't even know yo

that's weasel -- nailers. [ laughter ] >> stephanie: you say the terms of the fiscal cliff debate for republicans are that the only way they'll raise revenue is through the same magical loophole closing that romney ryan lost on. the senate's most pissed off munchkin john mccain said as much. he said i would be very opposed to raising tax rates but i do believe we can close a lot of loopholes. charitable giving and home loan mortgage deductions, the ones that will make plenty of middle class households pay too. they're the worst ideas. >> again, if norquist would back off, not to give norquist advice or help but if he would back off the closing loopholes as in any way raising taxes, he could say nobody violated my pledge. norquist comes out on top again. >> stephanie: i have to also say you have the best description i've heard yet of lindsey graham and john mccain. you said since john mccain and lindsey graham are like a human circular centipede -- they're like a senator-pede, part of the same organism. >> they keep feeding and defecating the same talking points into each other's mouth
